ing a roof load carrier with a lower load rat-
ing. In this case, do not exceed the maxi-
mum weight limit for the load carrier sys-
tem which is
specified
in the manufactur-
er's installation instructions.

WARNING
Accidents and vehicle damage can occur
if the maximum permitted roof load is ex-
ceeded.
·
Never exceed the
specified
roof load,
the maximum permissible axle loads,
and the permissible gross vehicle
weight for the vehicle.
·
Do not exceed the load capacity of the
roof load carrier, even if the maximum
roof load has not been reached.
WARNING
Loose and incorrectly secured loads can
fall
off
the roof load carrier and cause ac-
cidents and injuries.
·
Always use suitable and undamaged
lashing, retaining or securing straps.
NOTICE
When opening the boot lid, make sure that
it does not collide with the roof load.
Notes on use
Please refer to and at the start
of the chapter on page 279.
Remove the roof load carrier in the fol-
lowing situations
— The roof load carrier is no longer needed.
— Before entering an automatic car wash.
— When the vehicle height exceeds the re-
quired clearance height, e.g. in a garage.
NOTICE
·
Always remove the roof load carrier be-
fore driving through an automatic car
wash.
·
Installing a roof load carrier and securing
a load to it changes the height of the ve-
hicle. Check and compare the height of
the vehicle with clearance heights, e.g.
for underpasses and garage doors.
·
The function of other components such
as the boot lid must not be impeded by
the roof load carrier.
When the roof load carrier is
fitted,
consumption increases due to the in-
creased air resistance.
